Drinkin Lyrics

Drinkin lyrics

Older than I used to be, younger than I'm gonna be

Fewer things puzzle me than when I was young

But when my pace is falling slack

I catch myself thinking back

a certain night, a certain summer

Long gone long



August she was swinging low

Town of about a thousand-so

Out of school, ready to get out of here

Off to farm, off to State, each going our separate ways

Graduation message still sweet in our ears



Oh oh oh, clocks are slow

Hearts beat on

Long gone long



Got into a car that night

Drove out past the signal light

Past the city limits, guess it wasn't that far

Stopped out on a rural route

Gooch got out his .22

Shooting at a freight train that was hauling new cars



Drinking underneath the stars

Watching counting meteors

Robert said you know those fell a hundred years ago

The light is just now reaching earth

I said man for what it's worth

I think you are wrong and you really don't know



CHORUS



Is something going on, I tell you nothing's going on

Nothing's going on, going on, going on

Is something going on, I tell you nothing's going on

Nothing's going on, going on



Goodbye to the home team, goodbye to the rinky-dinks

Goodbye to a girl, down my street heading home

She stepped out from behind a tree, tears running down her cheeks

Goodbye to more than either of us could have known
